Moving pictures could not find the database and the skinfolder (1 Viewer)

[scorpie]

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug, but on my XP Moving Pictures is not able to find these folders and won't install.

The folders of MediaPortal are under (have to write this in German, sorry) C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Anwendungsdaten/Team MediaPortal and so one.

What MP does is, it creates a new folder" Application Data" under C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/ and then the other folders like Team MediaPortal. I think because it couldn't find MediaPortal where Moving Pictures wants it.

Now I have a folder Anwendungsdaten and a folder Application Data. This is the same, only two different languages.

Looks like this now

C:
-Dokumente und Einstellungen
--All Users
---Anwendungsdaten
----Team MediaPortal
-----MediaPortal and the rest of the normal subfolders
---Application Data created by Moving Pictures
----Team MediaPortal
-----MediaPortal and the 2 subfolders
------language
------skin

I copied erverything form Anwendungsdaten to Application Data and Moving Pictures installs without and error, but MediaPortal itself is not working anymore

Hope my try to explain that is not too dizzying

Keep MediaPortal were it is, and install MovingPictures manually otherwise.

What you want is the ZIP file to do so, available at: http://moving-pictures.googlecode.com/files/moving-pictures-1.0.0.zip

Unzip that file to a folder, say on your desktop, and then locate the 'MovingPictures.dll' file inside of it and place that in:

"C:/Program Files/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/plugins/Windows/" (probably German named folder for 'Program Files', but it is were all your other programs are installed)

The contents of the 'language' folder from the ZIP file has to go into the "C:/Program Files/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/language/" folder.

The contents of the 'Blue3wide' folder from the ZIP file has to go into the "C:/Program Files/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/skin/Blue3wide/" folder.

Make sure you put the actual content in those folders, so you do not end up creating "C:/Program Files/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/language/language/" if you see what I mean.

This installs Moving Pictures. Then open MediaPortal Configuration, go to the "Plugins" section, and right click the "Moving Pictures" plugin icon to enable the plugin. Then right click it again and goto the configuration options for Moving Pictures. Go over the options there and adjust them to your liking. Then finally add the folder to monitor that you have your movies in, and let the importer do it's job.

Enjoy.
